Windows Phone Marketplace crosses 50,000 apps threshold

2. MYTHiKAL posted on 3 hours ago 3 0

I'm not surprise at all.. I have a Family Plan with 5 lines and 2 of the phones are Android while the other 3 are WindowsPhone7's Ever since we started playing/using our WP7s, they completely took me by surprise with how smooth they work and overall how easy they can be.. About a year ago, my only issue was the lack of some of the Apps I wanted were just not there in the WP7 market, but now, everything I need or at least a variation of what I need is out there already. Not to mention the fact that XBox Live works perfectly on this phone just making it that much sweetier.. I Love my Samsung Skyrocket, but I also envy the WP7s the others around me have.. :) If I could, I would have both my Skyrocket and a nice WP7 in my hands.. :)

@christianqwerty:
They do have Pandora (metroradio, 3rd party app), they have speed test (apps: bandwidth, speed test), a variation of Youtube (by microsoft, very good)
About Skype & instagram, I don't know, I don't need them so far.

There is plenty different versions of speed test on Windows Phone. MetroRadio is out which is a third party client that works well on Windows Phone. Instagram would be pretty sweet on Windows Phone, Words with Friends too. There is a Youtube app but its meh. Im not a fan of Tumblr so I don't care about that. I keep hearing talks about Skype on Windows Phone especially since Microsoft did buy them out. I have no idea what is taking them so long.

But regardless of the different options of apps on Windows Phone your point is correct where they dont have as many apps also all the apps we want in their marketplace. Obviously that's a developer standpoint and they have to see some sort of reason why they should pursue making their product accessible to the Windows Phone Marketplace. I think with time and since Windows Phone is growing it will only be a matter of time until those developers jump on to the Windows Phone wagon.

I don't blame people not getting Windows Phone for the lack of apps. Microsoft has been doing a good job luring in developers to their platform. They have a hill to climb but they'll get there. As for me I do like my Android but the idea of an LTE capable Lumia for ATT coming is definitely making me wait to upgrade my line until it's release.

Although there are no official Pandora apps, Radio Controlled and Metroradio plays your Pandora Playlist; quite well, I might add. There is an official Youtube app and there is Metrotube, which will be unavailable after December 31. I can't speak to the other apps you inquire.

Certainly there will be Skype. I have heard this company called Microsoft bought them. Figure the makers of Windows Phones have a decent relationship with them.

A lot of these other Apps are really just shortcuts in disguise. I can sure search "you tube", and the site loads up just fine. I am not a huge uploader to sites, so I will just say it makes no difference to me.

But even as a huge WP supporter and extremely happy owner, I will say there are a list of apps that I do wish were there. Would love an ESPN radio app and more streaming radio apps. The game selections (first person shooters, role playing, ect) really need a shot in the arm. But, I am not sure how you complain a whole ton about 50,000 applications in under a year and a half. That is progress.

I check new app releases and updates every single day and most are NOT compelling! Most and many are low rate, low class useless apps. I cannot congratulate MS for this. Overall MS is just slow slow slow on many fronts; first rate apps, hardware products, software fixes and updates (disappearing keyboard), etc..!

I think MS could be integratin skype to wp so that it would be as a default option in video calls and an option in normal calls.
